This project seeks to equip members of the Russell Creek Association of Kentucky Baptists (RCAKB) in Greensburg, Kentucky to preach Christ-centered expository sermons. Chapter 1 presents the history and ministry context of the RCAKB and the goals of this project. Chapter 2 provides exegesis of four passages of Scripture (Luke 24:25-27; Acts 2:14-41; 8:26-40; 13:16-52) to demonstrate that expository preaching must be Christ-centered. Chapter 3 interacts with the key components of Christ-centered preaching. Chapter 4 details the project, highlighting the content and implementation strategy of the specific course curriculum. Chapter 5 evaluates the fruitfulness of the project in light of the completed goals. The central tenet of this project is to equip pastors to preach Christ-centered expository sermons to bring glory to God.
